DATE: June 20, 2014COUNTRY: IndiaPORT: New MangaloreReduced draft at berths due to monsoon & siltation

Due to monsoon conditions with siltation in the approach channel and
lagoon, the maximum permissible draft at [New Mangalore’s berths 10, 11, 14
& 15] is reduced to 14 metres, with 1 metre height of tide with immediate
effect.

Dredging work will be carried out by grab dredgers. Each grab dredger will
be held by 3 spuds as anchors. The dredgers, with hopper barges in
attendance, will have a circular safety working zone of 50-metre radius
centred at the dredgers. Dredged materials will be transported to the
designated dumping ground by hopper barges.

During operation, the dredgers will be attended to by tug boats which will
be used to shift the dredger.

A safety boat will be deployed in the vicinity of the working area to warn
other craft of the project.

Craft involved in the works will exhibit the appropriate local and
international day and night signals.

When in the vicinity of the working area, mariners are reminded to:
(a) keep well clear and not to enter the working area;
(b) maintain a proper lookout;
(c) proceed at a safe speed and navigate with caution;
(d) maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 22 (Jurong Control);
and
(e) communicate with Jurong Control on VHF Channel 22 for assistance, if
